looking for archived/file version of Tea and Biscuits (spike/giles/wesley) by WesleysGirl, Byrne, and Magpie

it's partly saved in web archive, but not completely in part III

Oh no! This was online until fairly recently, it's such a shame to hear that's no longer the case, it's an all time classic. Has anybody got a saved copy?

anyone have any good drusilla fic recommendations where she’s actually able to recover from her trauma and have a redemption arc?

bonus points if spike/sprusilla is not the reason it happens

Looking for something I read on Elysian Fields probably a decade ago. I'm 90% sure of all these facts: it's a one-shot, it takes place in an AU where Angel took the Judge's arm and went to bury it in China or something. He comes back three years later, post-S5, to find everything different. He doesn't remember Dawn, Buffy has a scar on her face, and she and Spike are dating, and he's happily integrated into the Scoobies. Angel laments that Buffy isn't the same person, as though he wasn't expecting her to change.

I'd love to find it again!

Hi there! I’m looking for a Spuffy fic that I only really remember the premise of: everyone in Sunnydale was under a sleeping beauty-style spell and couldn’t be woken up, and Buffy and Spike were the only two unaffected. I remember at one point they tried to leave town, but I think they were trapped? I read this fic on ff.net and it stopped updating at some point in 2010, so I know this is a long shot, but I figure it couldn’t hurt to ask. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for what I THINK was a genfic, Xander centric. Vaguely remember it started with Xander building things in either his Uncle's garage or shop, then he ended up building magical items and weapons for the demon community, including doors they could escape through. He ended up working with Willow and I think his hyena pack was there and he made doors and stuff to different dimensions or worlds too. Please help!

So I was just informed that somewhere on LiveJournal, back in the day, there was an Angel/Spike/Riley/Graham fic. Now this is a ship that I've long been interested in but I never ever came across any fic (or anyone even mentioning it) so I was super excited to see someone mention it. Unfortunately the OP didn't remember the title or give any additional details about the fic.

So I recognize that this is very likely a shot in the dark, but if anyone has any knowledge of an Angel/Spike/Riley/Graham fic that was posted on LiveJournal (it may have been a series?) let me know!

I am looking for a fanfiction I read awhile ago where Harry was raised in sunnydale and was friends with xander and willow before or around the same time as buffy came. He doesn't know he is a wizard or the chosen one until Wesley comes into the story and informs Giles. I'm pretty sure it was a buffy/harry pairing fanfiction.

looking for a copy of a fic called lost in the dark by shara nesu

It's available on the wayback archive of her old site ♡

I am looking for an older fic. It was an alternate BtVS Season 2 where Dawn already existed, and Drusilla/Angelus kidnapped her. Wheelchair-bound Spike takes care of and protects her. Is this ringing any bells for anyone?

Hi

I’m looking for a fic set in Angel S4 during the Angelus arc where AI use a truth spell on Angelus and then ask him questions

Does anyone recognize this?

Looking for a Spuffy fic that was post-series. I don't remember how it starts, but what I do remember was fairly detailed, so, uh, spoilers for a work whose title I can't recall?

Buffy decides to undergo the Trials (like from Ats s2, e9) to bring Spike back to life. The first trial involved her fighting a demon where the harder she fought, the tougher it became, till she realized this and stopped fighting it. The second trial was meant to teach her humility and she had to crawl on her hands and knees across a room while a bunch of demons beat the shit out of her. And her third trial was a fakeout: she was told she's done but that Spike was in heaven and reviving him will pull him out. In an act of selflessness, she declines to resurrect him after all and passes the third trial.

Any idea what fic this is? Thank you!

couldn't find a ton of Buffybot fics on ao3, but maybe someone who follows this blog would know of some older fics that center on buffybot, sfw or nsfw/gen or shippy, all are fine. just super curious on authors' different takes on that character!

thank you for any recs and all your help:)

I read part of a Buffy/Angel fanfic, then lost my bookmark.I’d love to finish it.

Buffy finds a homelessAngel in an alley on her walk home to her shabby apartment after her waitress shift has ended. She takes him home so he won’t have to survive outside. She’s struggling to get by, and buys dented cans of soup, etc, at the grocery store in order to stretch her paychecks.

Eventually Angelus rears his ugly head. She tries to get away from him by moving to a new apartment. He fixes up the first apartment, including new furnishings.

He finds Buffy, and continues to torment her.

Please admire my run-on sentences, and find this story so I can sleep at night.

I'm looking for some of that old-school darkfic. You know the kind, the stuff that's mostly on LJ and is serious, hardcore whump.

As for pairings, I'm not super picky (tho I prefer no Spander or Angel/Wes) actually I would love some genfic. I do enjoy endgame Spangel or Spike/Riley too.

I'm not opposed to noncon but I am more looking for stuff where noncon isn't the main type of whump. Also, I love an OC villain/whumper too, so if anyone has recs for that, by all means share them.

Not a fic search but I think tagging the ship portmanteau names in addition to the character x character tags might get more reach? As some people who follow tags follow one or not the other. (So like as an example, tagging Spuffy in addition to spike x buffy) like for the ones that have common ship names anyway.

Pls don't feel like you have to post this ask or respond directly to the ask, i just wanted to tell you that it was something i had thought of

I had mostly been considering organisation with the tags, but this is not a bad idea at all. Thank you, nonnie.
